		<description>everyone dont give this park a hard time. New owners just got this park in there hands. Once the park gets popular, the ticket prices are going to reduce. The only thing i dont like about the led zepplin ride is that video. Man i hate it when there is no one there and you have to keep watching that video over and over again. I had to go on the 2 baby coasters so many times cause i was sick of that video. What do you think about the video Coaster Critic</description>

		<description>Loved the Zeppelin ride.  At one point I thought my brain moved inside my skull!  It was quite breathtaking.  Give it a try.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The park is new so you can ride just about everything a few times!  I felt kind of spoiled.  I thought the food was passable at best, but the atmosphere was nice.</description>

		<description>Just Visited the Park and Im a Local and I have to say the Theme is awesome. Ofcourse I was expecting a little more but I have to say it was money well spent.  I arrived around 6 pm on a Sunday evening and rode everything 2 times Zeppelin 5 times Thats a Whole lotta love!!!!  I Attended all the shows and was very entertained.  I Love the Rodey Show the Best.  The Malibu Beach Party was a lil on the lame side but some what entertaining.  The food was reasonably priced and served hot.  I Like the layout and the themed areas.  I cant wait to see what HRP has in store for us Its a baby right now but Im sure in a few years its going to be a Big attraction.  Dont let bad talk keep you and your family away from HRP its a great experience and a lot of fun if you are willing to try it out! Dont expect a seasoned park with a whole bunch of thrill rides think of it as a placed to listen to some great music and fun and laughter!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;ROCK ON HARD ROCK PARK!!!!</description>

		<description>Loved the Zepplin ride and experience! Nice park. Get there early, get a discounted ticket, and re-ride your favorites to get your money&#039;s-worth. Take some photos, look at stuff and then get out before it gets any hotter or more crowded.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Family of four bought tix online and later learned you can get them for less at the fate if you live in NC or SC - so don&#039;t buy early to save. $39 for SC/NC. $43 online if 4 or more.</description>

		<description>Anonymous, I&#039;m sorry that you didn&#039;t like the park, but I&#039;m a little tired of people predicting the demise of the park already. It just opened!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I don&#039;t really get the complaints about the food. I enjoyed the meal I had at the Reggae restaurant. With regards to admission, it&#039;s only $39 if you&#039;re an NC or SC resident. There&#039;s also a money back guarantee, so if you check out the park and don&#039;t feel like it&#039;s worth you can get your money back.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It&#039;s not a huge park, but I really think there&#039;s plenty to do for your money. Hard rock Park just opened and no one should expect this park to be on the level of the Orlando parks, but as I&#039;ve said it&#039;s a completely unique experience and in my opinion, worth a visit.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks for the review.</description>

		<description>I just came back from my first visit to Hard Rock Park and let objectively say it’s a huge disappointment.  With a brand like Hard Rock Café to piggyback off, it’s very sad a newly designed “rock park” doesn’t live up to expectations.  Comparing this park to Disney is a complete joke and even Family Kingdom can provide more fun with a cheaper ticket!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let’s start off with the good.  The merchandise is really cool and relatively affordable compared to the industry standard.  Additionally, you can’t find a piece of trash if you tried throughout the entire park!  The cleanliness is great but remember the park is new so time will only tell if this remains. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now for the bad, yes…that was all the good!  Let’s start off with the ticket price, $50 per person for a park that can be completed in 3-4 hours is just insane!  $10 to park is normal compared to industry standard but when you only get minimal attractions to experience, it can only leave a bitter taste of being ripped off in your mouth!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now for the attractions, most of the attractions aren’t unique in any manner.  You have the swings, the spider but with a different themed car, a carousel, a water play area, etc.  Although Led Zeppelin is a great coaster, one great ride doesn’t justify attending this park with a $50 ticket!  The rides are cookie cutters that can be found anywhere in the world including Six Flags and even worse, your local carnival!  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let’s now talk about the food!  This is by far the worst aspect of the park.  Now you’d think that Hard Rock would if anything get the food right because of their long standing history in the restaurant business….WRONG!  The service is not trained to expedite a line in any shape or manner!  We waited over 25 minutes in a very short line to get a burger and fries and it was like pulling teeth!  I can’t even begin to explain how messed up this operation is!  The manager in the location was also very rude and you could only walk away feeling bad for the front line employees who were trying their best to achieve a good guest experience!   In addition to the awful service and quality of the food, the price is outrageous!   Let me say you can eat at Disney World for half the price of Hard Rock Park and get great service and better food!  It’s just awful and that’s all I have to say about that!  P.S.  Don’t plan on eating at a Hard Rock Café because the Hard Rock Park doesn’t offer one!  Crazy!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Overall, the staff was very friendly and seems to be excited about working at the first ever Rock Park.  Unfortunately for them, I can’t see the park lasting the summer based on the lack of attendance and the high-ticket prices.  The staff is a nice mix of locals of young and old and I even had some great conversations with a couple international staff members from Russia.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In conclusion, Hard Rock Park is anything from Rockin.  If the park makes it through the summer it will only be because of the local base annual passholder attendance.  The amount of rides are lacking, the price and quality of food is awful, and the place being a ghost town can only make you believe I’m not the only one with hopes the Hard Rock Corporation either corrects the major issues they have on their hands or walk away from trying to enter the theme park industry!  Rock your way down to Orlando for a fun time filled with Princesses, Pirates, Simpsons and soon to be Harry Potter!</description>

		<description>Rode this 6/7/08 and loved it. Didn&#039;t have to wait in a long line, just through the video and it was a very smooth, not jerky, ride. The first drop was not as bad as it looks, the Lochness Monster&#039;s first drop makes this one seem like a kiddie coaster, but overall was an enjoyable experience.</description>
